A. Introduction-
1.Lecture on note taking, page 151-153. For this lecture I will
present a Power point with all the information on note taking. This
will include the 4 parts, or different ways to take notes. Cornell
system, mind maps, power point, and parallel note taking. It will
explain each type and how each type can work in different situation.
2.Then have a section of the power point on study habits. This section
will cover pages 212-217 in the book and will go over three different
ways to study. They are making a master study plan, how to study when
the pressure is on, and finally reading and studying. This section
will cover all the main aspects of each one, and explain how each
will work differently at different times.
3.Then the power point will go into time management on pages 84-89.
This section will cover how to plan your days out so that you have
time for studies, but also there is time to have fun. This way there
is no mad catch up study section latter in the year. This will teach
how to manage personal fun time and school time in the day to day
life.
This lecture will consist of the above three parts and will last for
about 30 minuets. |

B. Development-
1.I will show how note taking can help in many different instances,
and even in the professional world. Also how they would be using this
skill for the rest of their lives.
2.In this section I will explain that studying is a big part of college
and that nothing comes free. I will then show how good study methods
can prepare them for future things, such as bar exams, and other professional
exams that most will have to take to become licensed.
3.After this section I will show how time management is key for everyone
and without it their lives will become very stressed.
All three section I will focus on how each subject will help them
latter in life, because to me that's what college is for, to prepare
us for real life. And if they have a understanding on how these subjects
will help them they might learn it a little better. So connections
to real life examples is key. |

C. Practice-
1.During the whole lecture students will be asked to take notes
the way they are used to taking them.
2.During the study habit section I will ask students to share the
ways they do their studying and if it works or not.
3.Also during the power point, but in the time management section
of it, I will again ask students how they manage there time and if
it is working for them. I will also ask them to write down what works
for them ad what doesn't. |

D. Independent Practice-
1.I will ask each student to come up with a new way, or to change
their current note taking habits and try one of the methods mentioned
before. Then over the next few weeks with the method they chose they
will take notes, and at the end of this time I will collect them and
then do a small test on the subject matter we learned over those weeks
to see if there is any change in there knowledge on the subjects,
2.Then after this I will introduce the next section of the power point
which was studying. In this exercise I will ask each student to recall
what they said during the lecture and to think about if there method
really works. I will then ask each student to pick a new way to study.
Then ask them to ty and study like this for the next test/or quiz.
3.Last we will go over time management and how their lives are organized.
I will then hand out a schedule that they can fill out in class, after
this is filled out we will discuss how easy of a load each one is
carrying and how to possibly fix this, then I will hand out another
daily schedule but this time ask each student to fill it out and make
corrections, so their lives are not as hectic and crammed in. |

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| All students will be given the book page numbers for each section
so that they can reread the section, also at the end of the power
point there will be time for questions or comments. This way if they
want individualized help I can help them. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
At the end of this class I will prepare a small quiz for the day
this quiz will just cover the main ideas of the power point.
The one key thing about the quiz though is there will be one on the
day of the class but then there will be another a week after the class.
This way you know they understanding and retaining the information.
